In-House Expenses (Determining How to Handle)

Top  Previous  Next

Description: In-house charges such as prints, faxes, and phone calls can be entered in one of three journals in InFocus; Disbursements, Purchases, and Employee Reimbursables.  

 

Where you enter them is based on the following  decisions:

 

Purchase journal

Requires a vendor to be created for the in-house expenses.
Will appear only in accrual financial reporting.
Distribution first asks for project so the G/L account can default in.
Must be entered by accounting staff.
All line items will use the invoiced date of the transaction for the transaction date.

 

Disbursements

Does not require a vendor to be established.
Appears on both cash and accrual financial reports.
Distribution first asks for the G/L account so it does not default in.
Must be entered by accounting staff.
All line items will use the check date of the transaction for the transaction date.

 

Employee Reimbursables

Requires an employee to be set up if the data is not being entered in expense sheets.
Will appear only in accrual financial reporting.
Distribution first asks for project so the G/L account will default in.
Can be entered by individual if included in expense sheets.
Each line item can have its own transaction date.
